production of Sound American
Citizenship the First Aim,
i Says Dr. Farrand. 7
On the badgo of every member bt
J tho Junior Red Cross ire tha words
UX Serve." That tells the story ot the
school children's branch of tho Ameri
can Red Cross and its efforts to bring
happiness to children throughout th
World.
Realizing that the time never was
$ propitious as right now for teach
ing the highest Ideals of cltlsenihlp,
i the entire present program of the Jun
ior Red Cross has been framed under
the very Inclusive phraso, "Training
for CttlEenshlp Through Service." for
others. Since the Junior Red Cross Is
the agency through which the Ameri
can Red Cross reaches tho schoolboys
and the schoolgirls, all Its activities
r doslgned to come within the regu
lar school program, and without creat
ing new courses or Increasing the num
ber of 8 1 tidies to lend Its aid In vitaliz
ing the work of the schools.
"Tho thing that Is needed," says Dr.
Livingston Fnrrnnil, Chairman of the
American Red Cross Central Commit
tee, "Is not a perpetuation of tho Jun
ior Red Cross, but tho trnlnlng and
breeding of sound American citizenship
inspired by tho true, fundamental
ideals of sound democracy. One of the
great conceptions In making tho Red
Cross a contributor to better citizen
ship In our Amerlcnn democracy Is the
realization thnt after all the sole hope
of any nation Is with the children of
the country."
The plan of organization of the Jun
ior Red Cross makes the school pub
lic, parochial and private tho unit,
not the Individual pupils. Mutual serv
ice, helpful community work such as
clean-up campaigns, care of the sick,
promotion of health regulations, par
ticipation in civic and patriotic move
ment all these creative agencies de
signed to translate Into Ufa and action
the regular school program are parts
of the machinery which the Junior Red
Cross places at the disposal of the
school authorities.
Graded study courses giving prnc-
tlcal methods of civic training, supple
mented by pamphlets and helpful sug
gestions, are supplied to tho local
echools by the Junior Red Cross. An
elaborate plan forpromotlng on Inter
change of correspondence between chil
dren In different sections of the United
tates as well as with children In for
eign laada la being devised and will
taJM a prominent place In the estab
llafeeri cUsaroem program.
In promoting the general cause of
chlM welfare, Red Croat course In
hygiene and care ef the sick,
aid, and dieting may be eetab-
In all Junior Bed Crosa Aux
iliaries.
To Ideals and the objective of the
Joalor Bed Croae are embodied In the
pledge of service which the pupil takes
wfca be atgns the membership roll and
Mas en hla coat the Junior's badge.
The pledge which binds together serv
ice and citizenship reads :
"We will seek in all ways to live up
to the Ideals of tho Juntor Red Cross
and devote ourselves to its service.
Wo will strive never to bring dis
credit to this, our country, by any un
worthy act
"We will revere nnd obey our coun
try's laws and do our best to Inspire a
like reverence and obedience in those
about us.
"We will endeavor In all these ways,
as good citizens, to transmit America
greater, better and more beautiful than
abe was transmitted to us."
At tho foundation of this school pro
gram of the Junior Red Cross Is a
great love farr America's children.
FOUQHT OVER CAPTAIN'S I00
Superstitious 6alfOI Wanted Cft
minder Consigned to Sea Othr
Would Carry Corpse to Port.
A weird talc of shipwreck, death at
en, nnd tho fierce, rough-and-tumble
battles of superstitious, hard-listed sen
faring men was revealed when Attor
ney John R. Tyrrell filed for probnte
In tlio superior court tho will
of Cnpt. Charles D. Olson, master
,of tho clipper snip James Rolph, Jr.,
tho Snn Francisco Chronlclo states.
Olson died on tho return from Liv
erpool with his ship in ballnst. At
ono stngo of the trip his ship was
wrecked, nnd slnco It was not heard
of 'for a long tlmo was given up as
lost, no got It oft tho rocks, pntched
It up nnd continued the voyage. Then
ho became 111 and died.
With him on tho voyage wcro his
wife, their elght-yenr-old daughter, and
tho child's nurse. After his death cer
tain members of tho crow Insisted thnt
ho should bo burled nt sen. Tho cap
tain whs honored nnd respected by all
his men, nnd tho lnslstcnco of some
of them on burial at sen was duo
to their firm belief that it wng the
fitting burial for n seafaring man, and
thnt 111 fortune would strike tho vessel
If this were not done.
Others of tho crew, tho majority, ar
gued that I ho body should bo homo to
land, ns Mrs. Olsen desired. When the
nrgumrnto waxed hot tho disputants
resorted to fists, knives nnd clubs, un
til scpnnucMl nnd quieted by tho ship's
officers. Tho body was then taken Into
tho hold of the vessel nnd burled four
feet deep In tho ballnst.
When the ship reached Panama tho
coffin was disinterred and hoisted to
ward tho deck to bo token nshoro and
ci enmted, Superstition again caused
trouble, nnd a sailor nnmetl Larson,
tho blpgeM man on the ship, leaped
to tho sldo of tlio coffin when It reached
the deck nnd with a knlfo threatened
to kill anyone who attempted to re
move the body from tho ship before It
was safe in Its homo port of San
Francisco, because of his belief thnt
ill luck would certainly como to tho
Blilp if It wcro moved.
By a ruso he was quieted nnd led
awny. Tho body was taken nshore.

Facto of Evolution.
Tho monkey, tho npo and tho goril
la wcro all Included with man In the
lino of evolution followed by Prof.
Elliott Smith In a into British Royal
Institution lecture. The domination
of mammals over other primitive ani
mals was given by tlio senses of vi
sion, touch and henrlng, mid the grad
ual development of these senses and
minor brain faculties couta be traced
from the Miocene period to the an
thropoid apes and to man. The prim
itive structure of remote ancestors is
better preserved in man than In any
other mammal. His particular group
of primates has never teen compelled
to turn aside from natural develop
ment, while others, like the gorilla
and the gibbon, havo acquired special
characteristics of limb or agility to
avoid extinction. Primitive man prob
ably came Into existence somewhere
In the region of Asia between India
and China. Ho was a wanderer, and
had nothing' to fix him in one spot un
til he became civilized and a regular
tiller of tho solL
Iluy Ilrend at Powell and Popes.
Opals Growing on Trees,
Opals grown on trees Is ono of tin
latest discoveries of science. Such
"stones" nro now on exhibition In the
American Museum of Natural History,
New York. Theso "opals" were grown
In Humboldt county, Nevada, several
thousand yenrs ngo, by tho slow
processes of nature. They wero form
ed from trees which were evidently
uprooted nnd burled In n swamp during
some earthquake. Tho trees, many
feet under water, became water-logged
snngs, and then became petrified. The
swamp water had become heavily
charged with a solution of silica
which acted upon nnd changed tho na
ture of the wood, while preserving Its
structure. In course of tlmo the wood
becnnio "opal," and can scarcely be
distinguished from the genulno nrtlcle.

YOU never saw more exquisite
cabinets.
The world has never produced any
more exquisite cabinets.
V. These cabinets are descended
out of the Golden Age of Furniture.
This was the age when Europe
built its most luxurious palaces,
created its greatest works of art,
developed its finest tyrz of crafts
manship. Mr. Edison's designers went
back to the furniture masterpieces
of this period. They adapted 17
of them for the modern American
home. They made every Edison
Cabinet a period cabinet, even the
least expensive. v
You must see these cabinets. ,
Only then will you appreciate what
wonderful richness and atmos
phere one will add to your home.
Ask about our Xmas Budget
Plan. It manages your money
economically. It makes 1921 help
pay; and that's good business.

In 1914, as you can ascerO
uln through practically!
any Investment banker,
the Edison Laboratories'
were soiling phonographs'
on a narrower margin of
profit than tha other man-''
ufacturars. Since 1914, tjioj
price of the New Edison'
has adrancad lets than 15.
and a portion of this Is.
